I should have stayed in FL. It is 106 degrees in Fort Worth today and it is going to be 107 degrees tomorrow and that is NOT the heat index.
North Texas unofficially tied the all-time record for highest minimum temperature today, according to the National Weather Service office in Fort Worth. That's assuming we don't have a sudden cooling rain before midnight.
The low for the day was 85 degrees, tying the all-time record set on Sept. 1, 1939.
"We're talking since the late-1800s when we started keeping records," said meteorologist Matt Mosier of the Fort Worth office. "Chances are that it'll hold up."
The high temperature once again exceeded 100 degrees today, marking 24 consecutive days of triple-digit heat and a tie for fourth place with July-August 1999. The heat index is expected to rise to between 105 and 110 both today and Tuesday…”

Our air conditioner is running all the time. I got the ceiling fan running in my room all the time and I am nude. So I can make it but going outside is hard. Plus I do not own a car so I do not walk outside and get in a car and turn on the air conditioner in the car. When I go outside I have to walk. (I do not go outside nude in case you are wondering.)
I am glad that I am not working outside. I am glad that I am not working.
During my life I worked in all sort of weather. I do not think I could do it now and in fact the order from my heart doctor was to avoid very hot and very cold weather.
Walking out side in weather like this is like walking into a blast furnace.
